Paramore: "we don't wanna be the <i>Twilight</i> cover band"

The Twilight soundtrack might've earned Paramore a place in the Twihard fan club, but the band no longer want anything to do with vampires and R-Pattz.

"They asked us to do the second one but we don't wanna be the Twilight cover band, y'know," Jeremy Davis, Paramore's tattooed bassist told MusicFIX. "[Laughs] I'm not the biggest fan of the movie."

Even without Twilight, the band from America's Deep South remains a firm favourite with females judging by the huge crowd trying to get a glimpse of them before their recent shows in Sydney.

"Yeah, they don't just like [us], I would say a lot of people are passionate about music but not like our fans are about us, y'know," Davis said. Which is why when the group put the call out for Valentine's Day cards for their latest clip 'The Only Exception' they were overwhelmed by the love.

"[We got] hundreds! Thousands! It was ridiculous! We told 'em it was for the video and of course they spent a lot of time on it. They are in safekeeping with the rest of our gear," Davis said.

While the group's leading lady and her orange hair are well known, Davis denies any jealousy about the amount of attention focused on Hayley Williams.

"I can't even imagine being Hayley because she really gets it everywhere," Davis said. "Whether people know the band or not, they've maybe seen a music video in passing and the orange hair stands out for sure. [I like] not being mobbed all the time!"

Proving the band is more than one person after touring with Justin, Taylor York's brother, while Josh Farro was busy getting married, Davis is confident of Paramore surviving a member wanting to leave for good.

"It will be cool when [Josh Farro] gets back. But it's also nice to know that it kinda works with other people too you know," Davis said. "It's got a different feel to it."
